This One’s For You (Brian’s Song)

This mixtape's in memory of Brian Dagle. Rest in peace
Years ago, when I was probably 12 or so, I would always play video games with my brother
And that's when I met you
I remember when my brother said your name
I immediately thought of Deagel, and that's what I called you
We used to play sometimes, even without Zach
Halo, Call of Duty, just me and Deagle
That only lasted about a year or two
After that I never really talked to you, never saw you around
Until last year when I started putting music out
You went out of your way to text my brother
Just to tell me good job or something like that
I've been trying so hard to remember, I guess that was the last time I talked to you
Just a quick thank you
And from then on, I would notice the occasional like or post on my fan page on Facebook
And, it felt good
When I heard the news that morning, I was speechless
I thought I saw you the day before around town
So it was weird to think...I guess it wasn't you
But I still can't grasp that you're gone
I wish you were here
I may not have known you as well as a lot of people
And I really wish I did
But you were always nice to me, and that's all I really remember
That and a few faded memories
From years ago. It doesn't really matter how well I knew you
Because what really matters to me right now is that I was lucky enough to know you at all
I hope you are in a better place now Brian
Thank you for being a part of everyone's lives
And we love you. Rest easy
I miss you Deagle

[Verse 1]
This one's for you, so I'll try to make it through anything
Everyone should know they've got their friends on their wings
Guarding their backs, if anything gets bad
Never forget about the love we all have
In the end we can't do anything to turn back time
No matter how much, we want to rewind
Maybe just today, or maybe the last night
Stick around to help, don't ever take flight
You left so many friends, created all their tears
Seeing you go was one of their worst fears
I guess you're happy now, and that's all that matters
Please keep us safe until the day we climb that ladder
